Original Contemporary Poetry about the Human Condition

Grand Gift | A Poem by Guy Farmer

A sublime, magnificent chronicle ofInexorable change. TranscendentFlourishing contraposed withDispassionate destruction,Prolonged repose, implausible rebirth.Still visible evidence ofPrimordial epochs, vast erasRecorded for posterity to examine.All for nought for many ofAbsolute surety, forbidden toAcknowledge that it just is,As it always has been, will be.Let us enjoy it while we can,An impossibly grand gift ofImprobability and chance.
